Following on from another post ... What do you call the end of a loaf? I've always called it the heal .... Everyone I know calls it a crust... Is there any more?

DH has always called it the noggy bit. Must be from his childhood but don't know where it originated. I'm not very original and just call it the crust.

The ends of baguettes I call ‘knob ends’

The outsider. Or l’étranger as my mum used to say!

DH calls it the heel. He is wrong. It's the Nobbly.

I’ve always called it the heel but I’m 100% going to start calling it the slut from now on!😂

RoseMartha · 28/04/2019 07:16

Crust but i have heard it called a heel.

ivykaty44 · 28/04/2019 07:17

The ends and often they are gone first in the house- as they are the best bits

So I was bored during the night waiting for pain killers to kick in. Seems from google it’s the crust and heel.

StoatofDisarray · 28/04/2019 07:42

Heel or crust.

PBobs · 28/04/2019 08:11

I think it is the heel officially isn't it? I call it the bread bum though.

In my family they’ve always been called the bumbley . When I left home I was surprised to find out that this wasn’t actually a real word

Bairnsmum05 · 28/04/2019 09:59

Outsider when young but now the ender 😃 I’m Scottish and have never heard it called the Heel 🤔 going to carry out a survey with friends!
